No, not a majority. Sorry. That's mob rule. Tyranny of the masses is still tyranny. If everyone agreed, beforehand, that such behavior was not OK, and would be punished, then yes, that would be fine. But simply a majority? No.
You know what's funny? During this entire conversation, you never thought about just asking the dude to stop shitting in the common areas. It's always about force with you statists. Making people do things.
Do you know what happens if
everyone must agree? From wikipedia:
Freedom of speech in Poland was far greater than in other European countries. Moreover, any single member of the Polish parliament during the 17th and 18th century had an absolute veto (lat. liberum veto), so that complete consensuswhich could be attained only with great difficultywas required for every issue. Originally, the procedure was used for points of order and similar technical issues, however, it was later abused.That's right. Nothing gets done.
So in our apartment complex there were no rules beforehand that prevented someone from pooping in public areas, because there was an implicit understanding that this is not something you do. However after a difference of opinion you've just started to do this to annoy me. Everyone but you wants this to stop, but you're having too much fun annoying me. What are we as residents to do about you? You're being extra cautious to make sure you don't overstep any other boundaries to ensure that you can keep doing this for as long as you please.
Obviously the first cause of action is to talk to the parties involved. I thought we talked about what happens when people can't agree. Dealing with pleasurable people are rarely a problem.
And connecting back to the driving part. When a road is built,
everyone who uses this road agrees to a specific limit, then someone else starts using the road. Do we need to assemble everyone again and agree to keep the limits as they are, or can they just stay the same?
After constructing a new road in the LA-area, which people should we invite to have a say in what speed limit there should be on it. Everyone affected by or using it? Do you think you'll be able to set a limit on this side of the heat-death of the universe?
